Hello from a Newbie!!!

[IndieQueen001]

Hi everyone! I''''ve been lurking on this board for about a month and have seen some absolutely INCREDIBLE pieces!

Just wanted to do a quick introduction since I hope to be an active participant here.
My name is Amanda.. 23 years old.. from Atlanta.. and I''''ve been married now for a year and a month.

Also, my husband is blaming all of yall for my new found jewelry obsession!! LOL.. not that I mind that of course

Thank you for letting me make my quick introduction.

Hi Amanda...welcome to the forum!!

My name is Maria and I'm fairly new to the forum myself. I live in California...we'll skip the age part

I think I understand how your hubby feels... my jewler's wife told me that someday a 3c will seem small to me...after that, b/f told me I can't talk to her any more...lol

 

[IndieQueen001]

Yeah, I''ve got my 1/2ct RB right now and the hubby actually agreed to let me upgrade after he got a new vehicle. For some reason I don''t think he actually expected me to let him get a new truck. Sooo... now he owes me a ring!! But it is funny how perceptions change. Shrinkage set in quick for me!

welcome amanda and maria!

it is good to have you here. i look forward to much fun and interesting posts from you boths!

 

[diamondfan]

Welcome to both of you! I stumlbed upon this site by accident when I was googling one night (and oogling, too!!) and I think that this is such a great group. Everyone is so nice, and there is literally nothing you cannot get help with!! It is a comfort to know you can log on and have such qucik responses from such a vast array of great people. Be warned, though, it can be an obsession too! Welcome and enjoy!!! Also, though you are technically no longer a newlywed, Amanda, congrats!!!

Welcome to you!!! This is such a fun place, I have a blast here and learn so much in the process! Too late now, you will be hooked before you know it! You won''t find a nicer, more diamond educated, wittier bunch of folk anywhere else - I am sure you will have a great time and become a computer hog, as DH accuses me of being

" oh you are on there again

" he says despairingly! Welcome to the club

Is it too late to change my screen name to troublemaker?

 

[coconut]

Ha!
Everytime my husband walks into the den he sees me logged onto PS.....He didn''t say anything but I know he was wondering why I spent so much time reading threads and even taking memos!!!

Just now he came to find me and asked, "Don''t ppl get jealous when someone shows off her big rock?"

Then I read him some of the compliments people wrote regarding other people''s rings, and the detailed help they gave to people with questions....
Of course I read him all the nice things ppl said about my necklace too and he''s like....

"wow.. people are so nice and supportive in that forum.... That''s rare. It''s good that you found sincere people to share your obsessions!!! Why don''t you post more picture of your other jewelry too?? I hope someday I can be very successful so you can post many big shiny diamonds!"

HAHAHA
Good night all!! sweet sparkly dreams!

 

[diamondfan]

WOW! Now he is on the right path!!!!!

 

[Madam Bijoux]

Welcome, Amanda. (I''m a newbie here, too.)

 

[Lorelei]

Taking memos - too funny!!!

Maybe I should too - what a good idea!

 

[VuittonGal]

Welcome! I''m a newbie too. The people on this site are very helpful and knowledgeable about diamonds. Enjoy!

 

[IrishEyes]

Coconut - LOL, this is like the ONLY place you can go to post your sparklies where people WON''T get jealous or spiteful!!

In "the real world" many people will ''pretend'' to be happy for you, but will get envious and say behind your back "that''s a nice ring, but *I* wouldn''t need all that bling to make me happy"

Yeah right....

So post away, show us what you got, ask questions WE ARE ALL OBSESSED!!!

Dancing Fire - no, it''s not too late to change the name, I''m sure Leonid can help you transfer your post total to another screen name, though my vote is for " SarcasticIntrusiveDiamondGuy"

To everyone else:

WELCOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

first of all: Welcome Amanda


Coconut- I know you''re holding out on us. You''ve shared that gorgeous necklace, now what else have you got?????

i know, i was teasing you.

 

[diamondfan]

and now I see how you make trouble!!!! LOL I had mistyped, so I was afraid I had inadvertantly insulted you...just relieved it is not so!!

 

[VAgal13]

Welcome Amanda! It''s always ncie to meet more people who are obsessed with sparklies.

The more you''re on here, the more you''ll get to know everyone and you''ll quickly feel like you''ve know these people forever. I just love PS!

If you are looking to upgrade your ring, I am sure we could give you some help. We love helping, especially when it comes to diamonds. There are many people on here who have upgraded their original rings, so I am sure you can get tons of ideas.

By the way, my Name is Sarah and as you probably guessed, I am from Virginia.

Cheers!

 

[Brooke]

Since Amanda and Maria were brave enough to de-lurk, I'm jumping in! My name is Brooke, I'm from PA and I've been a diamond fiend for as long as I can remember...luckily my husband is a good sport and I'm on my third upgrade. It's so nice to find a bunch who are as sparkly crazy as I am.

 

[belle]

welcome brooke!

it''s nice to have you here. you will find there are many fellow pa''ers that frequent the boards.

 

[sxn675]

Welcome to the newbies! I agree that this is one of the only places where people are actually HAPPY for you when you get something nice. I spent some time on the Knot when I was planning my wedding and I was afraid to even say the word "diamond". LOL
